The US markets ended higher on Monday amid optimism about the outlook for the economy following the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut last week. The Fed is expected to continue lowering rates in the coming months amid signs of slowing inflation even as the economy remains relatively strong. The markets also benefited from a notable advance by shares of Intel, with the semiconductor giant jumping by about 3 percent. The rally by Intel comes after a private report said Apollo Global Management (APO) has offered to make a multibillion-dollar investment in the company. Tesla rallied nearly 5 percent. Micron Technology claimbed almost 3 perent.
Walmart, Amazon, Visa Inc., Exxon Mobil Corporation, Costco, Chevron Corporation, T-Mobile, Adobe, Linde, IBM, Comcast Corporation and Uber Technologies gained 1 to 2 percent. However, investors largely made cautious moves ahead of some crucial economic data and Fed speeches. Reports on durable goods orders, new home sales and consumer confidence are likely to attract attention along with a report on personal income and spending that includes the Fed's preferred inflation gauge.
Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 61.29 points or 0.15 percent to 42,124.65, Nasdaq gained 25.95 points or 0.14 percent to 17,974.27 and S&P 500 was up by 16.02 points or 0.28 percent to 5,718.57.
